It’s spooky season, and with so many big releases crowding the October calendar, Little Nightmares III still managed to grab some of my attention this month. Maybe it’s the series’ distinct art style, maybe it’s the promise of short, sharp horror over sprawling open-world chaos, but I was craving something eerie, something that would crawl under my skin for a … Read More
When Obsidian Entertainment announced The Outer Worlds 2, I didn’t need much convincing. This is one of the busiest and most reliable studios around, they’ve already shipped Avowed and Grounded 2 this year alone, and if any team knows how to make a witty, choice-driven RPG set among the stars, it’s them. I had a great time with the first … Read More
If you know much about my gaming tastes, you’ll know I’m a massive fan of the Persona series. Their mix of intriguing stories, the blend of intense rpg battles and systems and slice of life elements and amazing characters put it at a level that make it hard to match. In recent years, the series has been making its way … Read More
I’ll admit it, despite owning a Wii back in the day, I never played Super Mario Galaxy or its sequel. I watched friends rave about them, I heard the music, I saw clips of people running around tiny planets, but for one reason or another, I just never took the plunge.

But over time, that formula started to feel bloated. Borderlands 3 in particular leaned so hard into meme humor and over-the-top antics that it unfortunately turned off plenty of … Read More
Bloober Team are no strangers to the world of horror games, having released numerous spooky titles over the past 10 years or so. Then just mere months after releasing last year’s amazing Silent Hill 2 Remake, they revealed they had another horror game, a brand new IP in the works. That instantly got me interested. Cronos: The New Dawn wears … Read More
When I first heard about Discounty, I honestly thought it sounded like one of those quirky indie sims you play for a weekend, smile at the charm, and move on. But after a couple dozen hours on the Switch 2, I’ve found myself completely hooked on this little management sim about running a discount convenience store. It’s cozy, it’s addictive, … Read More
When I first saw Lost Soul Aside nearly a decade ago, it was the definition of a dream project. One man, Yang Bing, had put together a trailer that looked like something out of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, a game I was personally obsessed with and heartbroken never came to fruition. That stylish action, that moody tone, that blend of … Read More
It’s not often that we get a game that’s been locked away in Japan for over a decade, finally breaking free with a full localization. Class of Heroes 3 originally released on PSP back in 2010, but never left Japan. Now, thanks to PQube and a full remaster for the Nintendo Switch, the game has finally landed in the West, … Read More
